Upsilon2 Centauri2 Centauri) is a binary star[6] system in the southern constellation Centaurus. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +4.33.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of just 2.57 mas as seen from Earth,[1] this star is located roughly 1,300 light years from the Sun. Relative to its neighbors, the system has a peculiar velocity of 7004392000000000000♠39.2+8.8
−15.2
 km/s
and it may form a runaway star system.[9]


This is a single-lined spectroscopic binary star system with an orbital period of 207.357 days and an eccentricity of 0.55.[6] The primary component has the spectrum of an evolved F-type giant/bright giant hybrid with a stellar classification of F7 II/III.[3] It is around 46[9] million years old with 6.9 times the mass of the Sun. The star is radiating 3,919 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,495 K.[7]
